Instructors already "Love it, love it, love it."

The new edition of Women's Gynecologic Health has only been out a short time, but Jane F. Houston DNP, CNM from UF College of Nursing has summed up what we knew would be the reaction, "Love it, love it, love it."

Women’s Gynecologic Health, Second Edition is a comprehensive text that equips students and practicing clinicians with a strong foundation in women’s gynecologic health, including health promotion, maintenance, and treatment. Based on the most recent research, the authors provide authoritative content written from a feminist perspective to convey a holistic approach to care.

Completely updated and revised, this second edition includes four new chapters on diagnosis of pregnancy at the gynecologic visit, women’s health after bariatric surgery, sexual assault, and urinary tract infections. In addition, the chapter on gynecologic health care for sexual and gender minorities has been expanded to include care not only for lesbians, but also for women who are bisexual or transgender.

Key Features Include:

Clinical considerations specific to the different physical and psychosocial life stages of women

Emphasis on physiologic mechanisms in order to enhance understanding of normal and abnormal processes
